2012 Club Group Build
This year's subject is "As Seen on TV". We're looking for subjects from TV Shows. Movies are OK, too, as basically every movie ever made has probably been shown on TV at some point. Examples would be most science fiction subjects, a MASH helicopter, cars from the Dukes of Hazard, the SS Minnow, Oddball's Sherman, etc. (We're looking at entertainment shows, not news programs.)
Group Build Rules: 1. Models must be new builds between February 2012 and December 2012. 2. There will be a special raffle drawing for participants in the Group Build. Each participant who brings a qualifying model will be given a free ticket. (From the standard table.) 3. Qualifying models need to be brought to the December Meeting. 4. Models brought into club meetings earlier in the year are eligible (provided they are 2012 builds) if they are brought back to the December meeting. 5. The number of winners will be determined by the number of participants with models on the table: 1-5 entries: 1 draw 5-10 entries: 2 draws 11 or more: 3 draws Past Group Build Themes:The June 2011 meeting will be "Group Build Amnesty Day". We are encouraging members to finish up those old Group Build projects that didn't get finished in time-- now's your chance! New builds of models that could have been built for a past year are also welcome.
